Burton Kramer, Identities, chronicles an icon of Canadian design.
Designers in Canada owe a debt to Burton Kramer. As Roger Remington states in the introduction of Burton Kramer, Identities:
Kramer became known as a staunch advocate of fully integrated design at a time when such an approach was virtually unknown in Canada.
Bringing this Swiss design ethos to Canada in the mid-60s was quite a revelation and, with Expo 67, gave Kramer and designers such as Moshe Safdie an opportunity to shine as the world visited Montreal.
Canadian New Media Awards finalists announced.
The CNMA’s are an important event for Canadian new media companies and worth following. Dig into the finalists when you have a chance and see who’s making waves across Canada.
As Ali de Bold, winner with ChickAdvisor, shared with me:
These awards are fantastic for companies looking to get exposure and recognition for their company. Not only did it give us a platform to speak in front of future clients and collaborators, winning our category gave us an extra measure of credibility that continues to open doors.
